"Error on Native App “You may have pressed the back button…”

Last Updated: Dec 3, 2024

Overview

Many users cannot log in to a mobile application and are seeing the error:

You may have pressed the back button…

There is a 401 response from /authorize/resume. The request to /authorize/resume has the “did” and “did_compat” cookies but not the “auth0” and “auth0_compat” cookies.

If searching for the req.url in Kibana, the /authorize/resume?state=[state], res.status_code will be null, log_type: request_error and err.message: “You may have pressed the back button…”
